Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Well you had no stones to throw You came without an ax to grind You did not tow the party line No wonder sight came to the blind You had no stones to throw You had no stones to throw And You rode and ass' foal They spread their coats and cut down palms For You and Your donkey to walk upon But the world won't find what it thinks it wants On the back of an ass' foal So I guess You had to get sold 'Cause the world can't stand what it can't own And it can't own You 'Cause You did not have a home Birds have nests foxes have dens But the hope of the whole world rests On the shoulders of a homeless man You had the shoulders of a homeless man No You did not have a Birds have nests foxes have dens But the hope of the whole world rests On the shoulders of a homeless man You had the shoulders of a homeless man And the world can't stand what it can't own And it can't own You 'Cause You did not have a home

I love how Elena Greco wins a prize in theology and then casually mentions how “God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus” are “a single person”

Speaking of which: which historians* have the best prose style?

Gonna try to read some history
…Italians found many and ingenious ways of adapting, limiting, undermining and ridiculing Mussolini's ambitions for them. The heart of this book is its engagement with the life of these ordinary Italians, struggling through terrible times.
